  • Patent number: 8269339
    Abstract: An underfill film for an electronic device includes a thermally conductive sheet. The electronic device may include a printed circuit board, an electrical component, an underfill, and the thermally conductive sheet. The underfill is situated between the circuit board and the component. The thermally conductive sheet is situated within the underfill, and together with the underfill, constitutes the underfill film. The device may include solder bumps affixing the component to the circuit board, the underfill film having holes within which the solder bumps are aligned. There may be solder bumps on the underside of the circuit board promoting heat dissipation. There may be heat sinks on the circuit board to which the thermally conductive sheet is affixed promoting heat dissipation. The thermally conductive sheet may be affixed to a chassis promoting heat dissipation. The thermally conductive sheet thus promotes heat dissipation from the component to at least the circuit board.

  • Patent number: 7847926
    Abstract: The invention provides methods and apparatus for defining a pattern on a substrate. An example apparatus includes: an emission source for directing an emission to the substrate, defining a working position between the emission source and the substrate, at least one shadow mask having one or more apertures and at least one inspection device for inspecting the properties of the substrate and/or the pattern, the inspection device having at least one inspection tool. The shadow mask and the inspection tool are separately provided on a movable portion, so that the shadow mask and the inspection tool are subsequently movable into the working position. The invention is further related to a method for defining a pattern on a substrate.
